Brow & Forehead Lift in Beverly Hills & Glendale, CA

This dual approach restores smoother contours and elevates your brows for a naturally rejuvenated appearance.
Is a Brow and Forehead Lift Right for You?
You may be a strong candidate for a brow and forehead lift If you’re a nonsmoker in good health, free from medical conditions that could interfere with healing. This procedure addresses drooping brows, forehead wrinkles, and signs of aging in the upper face to restore your refreshed, alert appearance.
There are risks to consider with any facial surgery, including infection, bleeding, or asymmetry. Choosing an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon is the best way to minimize complications.

During your consultation, Dr. Stepanyan will evaluate your goals, health history, lifestyle factors, and anatomy to determine if this procedure makes sense for you.
What Brow and Forehead Lift Techniques Are Used?
Dr. Stepanyan will walk you through your available options for brow and forehead lifting. Depending on your goals, he may recommend minimally invasive or more extensive methods.
- Endoscopic: Thanks to technological advancements, many patients now benefit from a less invasive method using an endoscope and specialized instruments. This technique involves a few small incisions hidden within the scalp and often results in a faster, more comfortable recovery.
- Coronal: Involves a larger incision behind the hairline and is more effective for patients with prominent forehead wrinkles.
- Temporal: Specifically addresses outer eyebrow drooping with incisions made at the temples.
- Direct: Stepanyan makes incisions directly above the eyebrows, elevating the tissue and removing excess to reduce drooping.
All these techniques share the same goals – gently elevating your forehead and brows, removing excess skin, and creating a smoother, more lifted appearance.
What Should You Expect After a Brow and Forehead Lift?
Dr. Stepanyan may prescribe you an antibiotic to take while you heal from surgery. Swelling and bruising are typical in the first few days and typically resolve within a couple of weeks. You will return to have your sutures removed within a week to 10 days.
Dr. Stepanyan’s care team may recommend cold compresses and gentle eye exercises to reduce swelling and restore mobility. Most patients feel ready to return to non-strenuous daily activities within one to two weeks. If you usually wear eye makeup, you can resume after about two weeks.
Dr. Stepanyan often schedules a final evaluation several months after surgery to assess healing and results. He and his team will guide you through the whole process, ensuring a smooth recovery with a naturally rejuvenated outcome.
